Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 30 July

Query:

AMC and Universal just locked down a deal to shorten the window
of exclusivity AMC theaters have on showcasing Universal films.
The window will shrink from 90 days to 17 days, and will
supposedly allow partners to share the profits from movies
distributed to video-on-demand (VOD) platforms.

I'd like to source several professionals from the film and
exhibition industries for a compilation video, fielding thoughts
on a set of questions around the financial and strategic impacts
to cinema. Cinema owners, operators, or industry experts are
welcome to chime in.

Here are the main questions I plan on asking:

Do you think AMC/Universal's new 17-day window to VOD will help
or harm the exhibition industry? Why/why not? Do you think the
new release window will spread to other big players and become a
staple of the industry post-COVID? Why/why not? How should
cinemas large and small strategize to stay afloat mid-COVID?

Requirements:

I'm looking for anyone with detailed thoughts from the
exhibition space or a tangential market. Mainly, I'd like to
hear from cinema owners, operators, investors or industry
experts.

Hello and thanks for reading! I am writing a fairly hefty
feature on the state of VR gaming. I'm looking at various
factors in order to understand where this section of the
industry is today. I'm looking to put into words how it has
grown -- despite or even because of a global lockdown -- and
where it is headed. One thing I keep coming back to is the
release of "Half-Life: Alyx". This seems to be doing
astronomically well. I'm looking to understand why (and how to
impart this to non-gamer types). I'm also curious to see what
this means for the gaming industry at large and what we can
expect going forward in VR gaming. Please note that I am
specifically looking to hear from publishers, retailers, and
developers. I unfortunately cannot feature users/fans/players.
Sorry about that. Since timing is tight, please let me
know/confirm that your quotes are exclusive to Publishers
Weekly; this means they've not been printed or shared elsewhere.
Thanks so much for your help! Any quotes I use will be properly
attributed so please cite your name, pronoun and title with a

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview real estate agents/brokers, lenders, attorneys,
housing industry analysts, real estate faculty/professors, and
other real estate experts for the following story:

1 in 4 home buyers are seeking to move out of town: Here are
their top 10 preferred destinations. A record 27.4% of
Redfin.com users (per their new report at
https://www.redfin.com/blog/q2-2020-housing-migration-trends/)
looked to move to another metro area in the second quarter of
2020. That's up from 25.2% in the second quarter of 2019 and
26.0% in the first quarter of this year. The most popular places
for Redfin.com users to look to move into are typically inland
areas with affordable housing, and the second quarter of 2020
was no exception. Phoenix, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Austin,
Atlanta, Dallas, Tampa, Miami, Nashville, and Charlotte had the
biggest net inflows of Redfin.com users in the second quarter.
This story will round up the key findings and list the top 10
out of town moving destinations and provide analysis from pros
as to why this is happening in these locations. I can accept
written responses (full-sentences that I can use as quotes) via
email to the following questions. My deadline is noon central,
Wednesday, August 5.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or unexpected about
any of the aforementioned study findings, and why? 2. Why do you
believe so many home shoppers are willing to relocate far
away/out of town or state? What factors are behind this trend?
3. What is it about the Redfin top 10 relocation markets list
that stands out to you? Why are any of these cities so
desired/in demand? 4. Is this trend to move far away an
overreaction by some people to the pandemic? Are they making a
mistake, if so? 5. What advice/tips do you suggest to home
shoppers seeking a move out of town/state? What should they
consider carefully? What should they avoid? 6. Any other
thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 7. What is your
full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?
